Here, in one volume, are two classic treatises on individual
freedom and inherent human worth from one of the most importantand
most overlookedthinkers of the late 18th century. Revolutionary in
all senses of the word, A Vindication of the Rights of Man, first
published in 1790, and A Vindication of the Rights of Women, which
followed two years later, were written against the background of
the French Revolution, the debate over which caused an uproar in
both England and France. In passionate and beautifully witty
language, Wollstonecraft rebukes the crumbling and ineffectual
traditions that allowed rich men to dominate society, and offers a
stirring call for a new kind of culture, one in which all
citizensmen and women, moneyed and working classare granted equal
opportunity to access wealth both material and spiritual. Well
received in their day and still important resources for anyone
wishing to understand the history of feminism as well as the
development of liberal republican thought in the wake of the
American and French revolutions, these are must-reads for students
of cultural history. British writer and educator MARY
WOLLSTONECRAFT (17591797), the mother of Frankenstein author Mary
Wollstonecraft Shelley, espoused her then-radical feminist and
liberal philosophies in other such works as Thoughts on the
Education of Daughters (1787) and History and Moral View of the
Origins and Progress of the French Revolution (1793).
